Abstract

3Dconnexion, A Logitech Company, makes and manufactures 3D mice products. These products employ a 6DOF optical sensor which allows full six-axis movement (X, Y and Z translations and rotations) in GIS and Geobrowser software. Scientists and other professionals, as well as enthusiasts, exploring the earth and beyond can pilot themselves around the terrain to analyze geographical data, zooming in on an altitude to examine data closely and effortlessly. With this 3D mouse sensor technology, the interruptions that occur while examining geological data are minimized or non-existent, and the professional can concentrate at the task at hand.
